One thing that helps me alot is the head and shoulders dandruff conditioner. Put it on your scalp like you are "greasing" it and let it sit with a hot towel covering it for 10-20 mins. Shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo like head and shoulders dry scalp or smooth and silky and follow with your fav. conditioner. It works wonders

try to avoid shampoos with sodium laureth/lauryl sulfates because that is a major scalp irritant.

rubbing your scalp with jojoba oil, lavender and rosemary oil should help a bit.

Jason Organics makes a great Jojoba shampoo
